Sorry about the lack of heat. That's dreadful! Have fun on your hot date! Please do give us a review of that movie! I've heard good things about it but would love to hear what you think. I am of course assuming you're going to see The King's Speech but you know what sometimes happens when one assumes...

Coveting your night out with carbs and Colin. the first year the beloved Swede and I were married, our chimney was condemned by the local building inspector and we had to tear it down. We spent our first winter with a hole in the front of our tiny house, stuffed with insulation and covered with black plastic. We kept the thermostat at 55 ALL WINTER LONG, otherwise we just would have been pumping heat out through said hole in the house. Ah, memories of being young and in love! And very, very cold.

i feel your pain! I can't tell you how many times this exact situation has been me! Our furnace is poopie! And it's only 5 years old and we're already going to need to buy a new one. What a precious face your little boy has!!! Happy date night!!! date night is my favorite!

So sorry to hear you are cold, that is the worst part about loosing power in our neck of the woods. We freeze, and we tend to loose power A LOT!!! I am glad you will be warm again soon. Enjoy your date with your hubbs, I love that you take time to do that on a regular basis!!

Thank you for taking the uncomfortable situation in your home and turning it in to pure entertainment for me (and your kids too) further proof you rock and are hilarious. Hope those carbs get in your belly soon and that Amish guy gets in your house

We are sitting here in cold Ohio watching our furnace. It seemed to slip below where we had the thermostat is set. My husband is paniked. I sure hope yours gets fixed. It's too cold out for it to be broken. Such cute pictures of your sweet kids. Have fun on your date.

We once had our furnace go out on Christmas Eve. We weathered it with a fire and that Christmas morning {it was 15 degrees outside} we unwrapped presents with mittens on. It tuned out to be one of our best Christmas' ever!

Ha! I get it! Have fun on your date...Date, what's that? Oh, I remember, those things my husband and I went on before kids ;) Our furnace did what yours did in the middle of winter a few years ago. It wasn't nearly as bad since we live in Texas. You handled it with a better sense of humor than I did. Hope you enjoyed your date, carbs and Colin Firth!

Ha! That's hilarious.Just wanted to let you know that I made your felt garland for a baby shower today. It turned out so cute and everyone wanted to know where the idea came from and how to do it! Thanks for the great craft ideas, Girl!

I just want to say that I have been enjoying your blog so much lately! I always have, but lately it's extra special to me:) You always have something great to share. I'm hoping to craft up a few things from your previous Vday posts...I'll be sure to give you all the credit! Thanks for sharing all your great thoughts! Hope you had a warm and toasty night!

I feel like I am following Lissa and Becky around on every blog they read, lol. What can I say they have good taste, but the odds of every one of our furnaces going out this winter is a little strange. Thankfully we had ours fixed! You are the coolest and truest homegirl! Thanks for keeping it real!

OH No Girl - i sure hate that about your heater!!! I hope MR. Amish was able to come in and get it fixed, on the cheap! My heater guy was here last week to inform me "well ma'am, looks like, well, you really just, well, you need a new one". Oh fabulous! haha. hope your situation is NOTHING of the same!! Hang in there. Boy does the devil throw some wrenches in our financial plans sometimes doesn't he?!? Blah!

We had no heat either one night this week - while 10 inches of snow was falling outside. Makes you appreciate that heat and those that don't have much of it, doesn't it?PS Those little smiles...cute cute cute!

I had a very clever comment all written out two days ago about Cute Maintenance Boy and Cute Mr. Darcy Boy or something along those lines, but my Mac computer wouldn't let me leave a comment....something about being a cookie enabler, and now that I have my PC back and can finally leave a comment the clever moment is gone never to be seen again.Hope your date was a hawt one, Farmgirl.

Hmm. . .sound like my apartment Friday night. We went out and did errands and by chance picked up a space heater for a extra room on clearance. Got home and had to pug it in right away. It was negative something outside. Inside 55. Was so not impressed. Plus side the space heater works great.
